Am I the only one who, upon reading this, immediately wondered if there's stuff from Real Ultimate Power in the history of the Ninja page? Like how they love to flip out all the time, and how they're totally sweet...?
I pray to god you don't edit the Ninja page. You didn't mention a thing about kick-ass guitar solos.
DUDE: "Hey man, I just figured out the solo for [insert song here]. It's so cool to play."
OTHER DUDE: "Sweet, show me how it goes."
DUDE: "Um, I can't -- it's illegal. And don't tell anyone I figured it out myself. If anybody asks I bought the music."
In similar news, concertgoers will now be forbidden from watching the hands of musicians during the performance, lest they learn something about how a song is played without paying the proper royalties.
Your point about the proper spelling of 'useful' is well taken. Likewise, one might also say it's 'useful' to spend one's time doing something more constructive that nit-picking the spelling prowess of others.
I don't know if the fact that someone actually did the math on that makes me feel better or worse about humanity. Though I do feel somewhat honored that you wasted at least a few moments of your day on my attempt at humor. Kudos!
He compromised over 3 Libraries of Congress worth of information, which costs the government such a large amount of money that, if stacked in $20 bills, it would be the size of four Volkswagen beetles. And if you don't know that it takes 1/4 billion in twenties to equeal a Volkswagen bug, then turn in your nerd card at the door.
I've always wanted there to be an easy way to filter out the commercial bunk when looking for actual information. Hopefully this works as they say it does.
My big suggestion would be to have a customizable slider, where I could have one end of it say "research" and the other end say "let in all the assbags trying to sell me crap".
This kind of statement is so pathetic. Just trying to make yourself sound so above it all. Fucking lame.
With all due indifference to the grandparent post, what's lame is posting AC with such piss and vinegar. Have some balls if you're going to try and talk big.
before it split. That made it just a little depressing when it was down to $4 around a year later.
Then again, I'm just whining about a $1K investement I made on a lark with their IPO. The dot bomb was obviously MUCH crueler to others than this. I'll shut up now.
On the flip side, even though I have downloaded it a few times, I've also burned the exe to a disk and installed it on the boxes of several friends. That's multiple installs for one download.
The other scenario is probably much more common, but it could go both ways.

And I had, like, seven invites left that I hadn't sent out yet. I guess they're worthless now that ANYONE can use it.
. . . and to make it worse, the music sucked too
Something about that line struck me terribly funny. Bravo.
I hope you're not mad that I reprinted it without permission.

Love the hoax. Love the cause. I have CD myself, and can't imagine raising kids with it. (I'm keeping my fingers crossed and my kids tested regularly)
I thought this was a dupe -- Tommy Lee has been using variations of that floating drum platform since about '88. Then I read TFA.
Exactly right.
six. (though I did hop to the other side of the river a year or so ago). But hell, I put 29 years in -- I still count.
A European seagull could.
Best. Bowel cancer joke. Ever.
Glad to hear all is well with him.

But hey, if that's your thing . . .
Comic Book Guy: Oh, that's usefull.
Actually, though, quite a good reply on ZD's part. It gave me a laugh, anyways.
Amen. Skinny Malinky (sic) was my hero.
YP's be dammed!
As comedian Tim Bedore says of the midwest: "Where the introverts stare at their shoes, and the extroverts stare at your shoes."
But make no mistake, I'm damn charming.
Underwater for 45 minutes and made a full recovery. Water was obviously very cold.
And it has wheels, so in case you die in the desert it can drive to the nearest cemetary.

My, you certainly embiggened that post.
I'll take two bowls of split-plea soup to go, eh?
If you really want to establish your geek creds . . .
I feel dirty just having read that sentence.
Even dirtier that it makes sense to me and I agree with it.
